243. Finished the timeline!

Apr 2016

Good news! I've basically finished writing the email scandal timeline. It wound up at 57,000 words. One reason it's so big is that it includes a lot of misdeeds of the Clinton Foundation too. I stlll plan on adding to it, but mostly just whenever new news comes along.

So now my plan is to polish it and make it presentable to be publicly posted. That'll still take some more days. If you're interested in reading it now, please send me a PM (with your email address) and I can email you a copy. I already emailed a bunch of people who made a bunch of posts in this thread, but I'm sure I missed a lot of you.

One problem is that the timeline is so long, so I'm going to work on creating a "greatest hits" version. I could use feedback for that and other things, including ideas on how to spread the word about this once it's done. I believe the information in it is something voters need to know before this primary race is over.

Oh, and by the way, the timeline is nicely illustrated with lots of photos, thanks almost entirely to the help of Oilwellian.
